Nashville, Tenn. (April 16, 2013) - Life is Beautiful even in the midst of a hectic tax week. At least it is for The Afters who release their fourth studio album today, April 16. The chart-topping foursome delivers their much-anticipated release to a sea of high praises after more than two and a half years since their last studio album. The project plays anthem to the heartbreaks and life experiences that lead to the album's appropriately titled affirmation - Life is Beautiful.

The band kicks-off the release of Life is Beautiful with a week-long media run in New York City with visits to Billboard Magazine, FOX News Radio, Guideposts Magazine, Liberty Treehouse, Sirius FM and Star99.1 FM, among others. In addition, The Afters will perform their infectious lead single, "Every Good Thing" on the highly acclaimed morning show, The Better Show. Their interview and performance will air on the nationally syndicated lifestyle TV program next Monday, April 22. The single is also making impressive gains at radio, breaking into the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot AC/CHR Chart and jumping to No. 7 on the Billboard Christian Audience Chart.

Check out a few of the glowing praises on Life is Beautiful:

"Beauty can be found anywhere, even in the pain. Anticipation for The Afters' fourth studio project was high… and fortunately, the Texas-born foursome lives up to expectations with Life is Beautiful." - Rhapsody

"Four albums into its hit heavy career, The Afters are continuing to craft hook heavy material with thought-provoking lyrics, which in this particular case, seek to encourage and enrich fans' faith journeys while giving glory to God for even the simplest blessings." -gmcTV

"This album challenges us to dive into our own lives and make sure that the beautiful moments aren't forgotten. Life is Beautiful encourages us to live our lives head on to experience the wonder and beauty set before us." - Indie Music Vision

"Filled with fun, encouraging and several heart-touching moments, Life is Beautiful is easily one of the must-own albums of 2013. If there was any time to discover The Afters, it's now. " - New Release Tuesday

"In the midst of discouragement, disappointment, and overall disarray, an album like Life is Beautiful speaks directly to these injustices" - Jesus Freak Hideout

"This is The Afters' best work to date... It speaks to the being of humanity, God's greatest creation, that Life is Beautiful." - Christian Music Zine

The Afters are currently on the Hundred More Years tour with Francesca Battistelli, Love and the Outcome and Kyle Sherman. For more information on tour dates and tickets, visit: http://theafters.com/tour/.

About The Afters:
Texas-based, four-piece band The Afters were propelled into the national spotlight with their INO/Sony Music Label Group debut I Wish We All Could Win. The project spawned the swirling, melodic hit "Beautiful Love," earning the band an enthusiastic following when the song was selected as the theme track for MTV's "8th and Ocean." "Beautiful Love" was also the most downloaded track of 2006 on the iTunes ® Inspirational charts and garnered the band an mtvU award as well. The Afters' sophomore release Never Going Back To OK (INO/Columbia Records) debuted in the Top 50 on the Billboard Top 200, and proved to be sensation on the silver screen with "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC), "Dr. Phil," "Army Wives" (Lifetime) and "Rachael Ray." The band's third record Light Up the Sky bolstered two No. 1 radio hits, as well as placements on "The Biggest Loser" (NBC) and "You Deserve It" (ABC). A slew of media including Rolling Stone, Seventeen.com, E! News Live, TV Guide, Premiere Radio and more also picked up on covering The Afters. The band released its fourth studio album, Life is Beautiful, on April 16, 2013 via Fair Trade Services.
